From the minute I was able to talk, I have always been eager to ask questions about the past. My grandfather spent hours every week teaching me about history, and I have learned from him a love for the topic. Through his love for history, I have also developed a passion for teaching history to the next generation. I approach tutoring with excitement and energy, because I truly love what I do and care about what I teach. My main teaching philosophy is that students learn best through positive reinforcement, consistent review, and utilizing many different strategies and techniques to help students gain content mastery. I am a proponent of Gardners Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which says that different students process data in different ways. I personalize my approach to students based on how I believe they will best achieve content mastery. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Secondary Education at the University of South Florida and I am currently working on my Masters Degree, with an anticipated graduation date of August, 2024. My favorite subjects to tutor are Civics, U.S. Government, and early World History. Outside of teaching, I love baseball, hiking, Yoga, and spending time with my family!
